2 1/2 yo won't work with SLT

[Guest guest]

I am frustrated and need some support. My non-verbal 2 1/2 year old apraxic son

won't work with our SLT. At school, he goes to a SLT and all they say is that

" he won't talk " which I know. They are working on getting a computer device for

him. We have a SLT that comes to our home once a week, but he won't even let

her touch his face and tries to run away from her, especially when she is trying

to make him make noises. She has said that this is her only case were she

hasn't made a connection with him yet (he has been seeing her for about 2

months). Has anyone had any experience with this? Is this an " age " thing or

just " him " . he does well with the OT (we are just working on feeding, so all he

is doing is eating there which he likes to do anyway).

By the way, we are on day 10 of NV/fish oil and he has said baba, mmm and pa

from saying absolutly nothing. He isn't consistant with it, but at least it is

something. We are giving him 2 tbs a day. should we up it?
